It depends on what you want - there are LOADS of portable UI's
out there.

Some run pixel-for-pixel identically on all OS's like my own PLIB/PUI
at http://plib.sf.net which renders the entire GUI in OpenGL
and runs on anything that supports OpenGL.

Others run with a 'native' look and feel on each platform - which
looks 'right' for whichever windowing system they are running on.

I like FLTK (Fast, Light, Tool Kit) - which isn't bloated and is
pretty usable.
